Night Moves at Audubon
The oldest surviving Perley Thomas Streetcar roaming New Orleans these days is the class streetcar number 900. 900 was the first car in a massive order for new streetcars by the New Orleans Public Service Inc. all the way back in 1923... One hundred years later 900 is still churning out the miles on the historic Saint Charles Streetcar line. Tonight 900 is inbound at Audubon Park with a quickly filling car bound for Canal Street, and the downtown area. Behind 900 the Holy Name of Jesus Church rises silently into the night. The church is now a part of the Loyola University campus that provides plenty of ridership from this area of town. 900 is the first outbound car of the reduced nightly service that sees streetcar service dropped to a handful of times per hour. These streetcars are fun to shoot in the daytime, but arguably more fun at night...
Thanks again for looking!
